Personal life[edit]

Born in 1974, she is the youngest of three children. As a child, Robb attended weekend drama groups in Glasgow, where she was discovered by director Alan Macmillan, later going to the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama. She made her screen debut as a nine-year-old starring in an STV docudrama with veteran Scots star Tom Conti. At 13, she was awarded the BBC Young Entertainer of the Year award on kids' TV show, Going Live! At age fourteen, she got the role of Trish McDonald in Scottish Soap, Take the High Road, which launched her TV career, with Taggart, Sunburn, Dream Team, Doctors and The Bill following respectively. Robb's parents split up when she was fifteen and she rarely talks to her father, but remains close to her mother, who lives in Spain. Robb plans to set up her own website and work on a long-term goal of making a film telling the story of her mother's life. Robb was once in a band called The Kinky People and also sang "I Will Be There" by a group called Absolutely. In 1997, she released a single with dance group Partizan called "Keep Your Love".
